I found two issues with my iPad RSS readers yesterday. I've already fixed them and submitted them to Apple, so hopefully they will be available by the end of this week. Apple is usually a little quicker with updates than they are with reviewing new apps. The apps were crashing when one attempted to delete a feed or a feed category. As well when adding new feeds one was not always able to see all category options when the keyboard was viewable. This second one wasn't really a bug because one can always dismiss the keyboard, but I just felt it was a better user experience to be able to scroll and view all categories without having to dismiss the keyboard.
As well I've updated all my iPhone RSS readers to better display the categories when adding a new feed. These updates are currently awaiting Apple's approval which I hope will be by the end of this week.
ScienceNewsRSSHD has a great first few days. It peaked at #5 yesterday in the News category in the Canadian App Store (it's currently sitting at #10), and it's at #12 in the News category in the US store. On the first day it was free and had over 200 downloads. It looks like there's reasonable demand for this app so I'll be building and releasing an iPhone version in the very near future.
